As the world patiently awaits the official Secretly Canadian release of BLK JKS’ Mystery EP, the band – via www.blkjks.com – has graciously offered a free, downloadable megamix CD of some tunes twisted by Carlos Ramos of the Midnight Rockers Express.

From BLK JKS blog: “‘Los is this underground legend dude who ran the sound, lights and DJ’d for just about every night at SOB’s in NYC during the 80′s. He’s played with legends including Celia Cruz, Ruben Blades, Babatunde Olatunji, Third World, Aswad, Jorge Ben, Alpha Blondy and Hugh Masekela. He went on to spin at moving parties around NYC as the house scene was exploding in the late 80′s.”
